Intermarriages In Exercises 13–18, use the figure, which shows the percentages of newlyweds in the United States who have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity. The survey included random samples of 1000 Asian newlyweds, 1000 Hispanic newlyweds, 1000 black newlyweds, and 1000 white newlyweds. (Adapted from Pew Research Center)

15. Asians and Whiles At α = 0.01, can you support the claim that the proportion of newlywed Asians who have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity is greater than the proportion of newlywed whites who have a spouse of a different race or ethnicity?

Stanford University conducted a study of whether running is healthy for men and women over age 50. During the first eight years of the study, 6.8% of the 421 members of the 50-Plus Fitness Association died. We are interested in the proportion of people over 50 who ran and died in the same eight-year period. Which distribution should you use for this problem? Explain your choice. P′∼N(0.068,(0.068)(0.932)421−−−−−−−−−−−−√)P′∼N0.068,0.0680.932421, since a normal distribution can be used to approximate a binomial distribution.

A certain virus affects 0.7% of the population. A test used to detect the virus in a person is positive 87% of the time if the person has the virus (true positive) and 14% of the time if the person does not have the virus (false positive). Fill out the remainder of the following table and use it to answer the two questions below based on a total sample of 100,000 people. Virus No Virus TotalPositive Test Negative Test Total 100,000a) Find the probability that a person has the virus given that they have tested positive. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. % b) Find the probability that a person does not have the virus given that they test negative. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent and do not include a percent sign. %

Refer to the figure at the right. At a =0.10, can you reject the claim that the proportion of 18 to 24-year-olds living in their parents' homes in 2000 was the same for men and women? AsSsume the survey included a random sample of 248 men and 244 women. Percentage of 18- to 24-year olds living in parents' homes 70,. 51.5% 41.2% 46.6% 44.3% 2000 2012 O Men Women Identify the null and alternative hypotheses. Choose the correct answer below. O A.

Can you reject the claim that the proportion of 18 to 24-year-olds living in their parents' homes was the same for men and women in 2000? V, at the 10% significance level, there is evidence to the claim.
